JUDGE ANTHONY ASSAULTED.
A Tramp Makes a Vicious Attempt to

CHICAGO , Juuo 4. [ Special Telegram to
lie Bnu.1 Judge Elliott Anthony , of the
Superior court , was in imminent danger of
his life to-day at the hands of an infuriated
man , who it is supposed , Is Insane. Tlio
udgo was only saved by the timely interfer
ence of a baker , who captured the judge's
assailant. The judge loft his residence to go
to the court-room. Ho had no sooner got to
; ho sidewalk than an ill-looking follow , shab
bily dressed , and who was passing , suddenly
: eaped nt the judge and grasped at his
throat. The assault was so unexpected that
the judge for a few moments lost his head.
Ho recovered quickly , however , and made uu
effort to throw his assailant off. The latter
clung to the judge , however , and would un
doubtedly have choked him to death had not
a young man who wns riding by in a bakery
wagon jumped off and cotno to the rescue.
Ho ran up behind the fellow and dealing him
a heavy blow sent him to the sidewalk. Ho
was then hold until an officer nrrivcil and
took him to the Chicago avenue station. Ho
gives the name of Andrew Sherley , but re
fuses to assign any reason for his singular
action. Hois undoubtedly insane. Judge
iVnthony was badly upset.
MOVES REVISION.
Boulangcr Moves It In. the French
Chamber of Deputies.
PAHIS , Juno -General Boulanger gave
uotico to the chamber to-day that ho wonld
submit a proposal for u revision of the consti
tution , and would demand urgency therefor.
Ho read a preamble stating that the elections
which had produced so many manifestations
in his favor compelled him to call attention
to the sufferings of the country , and to tlio
intense crisis which threatened to bccouio
very serious.
Tlio general said : "Tho republic is now
governed by a group , n state of affairs peri
lous to any country , desiring liberty mid
justice for all. Parliainontisin has excited
n culpable cupidity ; it has paralyzed the
good will of the nation. Revision of the
constitution was the only effectual way to
take the government from the hands of the
privileged class. How could ministers last
or any national policy bo permanent wliieh
rested upon parliaincntisin , divided into
groups , pursuing nothing but clique interests.
It was notorious that some ministers had
drawn money from the public treasury in
order to secure electoral votes. "
At this point the gcm-ral was again inter
rupted by ciies of dissent , and the president
of the chamber asked him to withdraw his
statement. General Boulanger declared that
he had no intention of attacking the present
ministers. Continuing ho asked whether the
president of the ropubljo wns really a neces
sity , and whether Franco could not do us well
.vithout n president. The' president of ttio
chair hero advised Boulunger that it was
timeto bring his speech to a close. Tlio gen
eral In conclusion said : "Franco reconsti
tuted should promise continuity of her
foreign relations. Supported by u powerful
army she would become the best guarantee
for the peace of Europe. "
M. Floquot credited Boulnnger with a de
sire to calm the impatience of the electors by
the production ofhis , motion , fearing that he
would merit tlio epithet of "Do-Nothing Dictator
tater , " Tlio motion was rejected 377 to
180.
180.M.
M. Pyatt recalled the fact that General
Boulunger had been colonel of tlio Versailles
army against the commune.
M. Cassagnoc exclaimed : "You were n
communist. Your place is in n convict cell. "
M. Pyatt proceeded amid nn uproar to dc-
cluro in favor of voting urgency , in spite of
the fact that he u-.is no admirer of Boulun
ger , who owed his success to opportunist
persecution.
M. Floquet charged Boulanger with giving
utterance to projects for the future wherein
the glory of Boulanger was the only thing
discerned.
"My glory equals yours , " rejoined the gen
eral.
eral.M.
M. Floquet reminded him that at his ago
fifty-one the great Nairaleou had died and
he asked what chance there wivs that the
general's ambition would attain anything.
After the defeat of the motion , the cham
ber resolved by a vote of 333 to 170 that the
speech of Floquct should bo placarded pub
licly throughout France.

Relation of an Ohialia Man With a
SENT MONEYwOl.EAR TO PARIS.
What tlio Deputy Comity Treasurer
Did For nndj Knows of n Man
Tracked By Scotland Yard
Detectives.
dot Money From Omaha.
The pretty Httlo residence of Deputy
County Treasurer John Groves on Chicago
street between Twenty-fifty nnd Twenty-
sixth was Invaded by n BBB reporter shortly
otter midnight last night , nnd several dem
onstrative nnd noisy thumps on the front
door brought Mr. Groves to the entrance.
Ho wns attired In a nocturnal uniform , and
politely Invited the rouorter Inside. The
visit was inspired by the receipt of the fol
lowing Associated press telegram :
LONUOX , Juno 4. Walsh , the man who
was suspected by the police of being impli
cated In a Dlot similar to thnt which led to
the murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish ,
and Unilor Secretary Burke hi Phoonlx
park , Dublin , Jlndinp himself dogged at
every foot-stop accorded nn Interview in
Paris to an agent from Scotland yard. Ho
snid ho had convinced himself that the po
lice had discovered all the de
tails of the matter in which
ho wns interested , and that ho had aban
doned his mission. Walsh sailed from Havre
for Now York on the steamer La Norman-
dla on Saturday , taking passage under the
name of Walters. Previous to his departure
ho spent money lavishly and showed the de
tective who Interviewed him three twenty
pound notes , which lie said ho had received
last week from n man named Groves resid
ing in Omaha , Nob.
A lamp was lighted nnd Mr. Groves
settled down to lenrn the cause for being dis
turbed from his slumbers. In response to
tlio questions hurled nt him ho snid :
"I know Walsh , whoso name Is John. I
first made his acquaintance in London
twenty years ngo. Ho wns then In the iron
business , and our relations were broken
when I set sail for America.
Wo were apart in personal re
lations for a number of years ,
but I heard from him occasionally through
people I ciuno in contact with , who told mo
that they had met him nnd that ho hnd in
quired after me. These inquiries came from
people who hnd mctrtiiniin Now York , where
I was told that bo was In the employ of the
government. Ono day , about thrco months
ago , Wnlsh stopped in upon me , nnd I was
glad to sco him. Bo looked ill and
broken down , and told mo that ho was
in ill health. His abiding place while m the
city was nt the Arcade hotel , and I saw him
quite regularly. During our various meet
ings ho casually remnrked that ho was poor
in pocket , uud broken down in health. Ho
remained hi Omaha about ten days. I gave
him money to pay his hotel bill nnd suftlcent
to leave the city nnd depart for Ireland ,
where he much desired to go to recuperate
his health.11 0
"Hdw much money did you let him have nt
that time ? " asked the reporter of Mr. Groves
"As much ns I w6uld give any old friend
that wns in distress jind needed relief , " ro-
plicd that gentleman.I / >
"Wh.it security did liyou receive for this
loan ! " m 0
"None whatever. Jwas mndo fully cog
nizant of the tfact that Walsh
owned property ift , New York state ,
that ho was coining back nnd
that ho would repay ] me. The property is
worth every dollar 1v3r ! loaned him , and ho
is an honest , uprighti.nmn. "
"How old is Mr. Wnlsh i"
"Ho is a man of aubut llfty years , and an
honest man. " -i 1
"You are a member-Of the Irish National
league , are you not , Mr. Groves 1" queried
the reporter. ; ?
"Yes , only n member , ' I hold no ofllco in
it , " wus the answer. 1
"Did you have any convcrsn'ion with Mr.
Walsh while ho was hero in reference to the
manner of dealing with the English govern
ment relative to the Irish question i"
"Yes , I had , but 1 found him a very con-
servutivo man on that point. There was
nothing vindictive or demonstrative about his
views. That telegram you have just shown
mo is simply ridiculous , and must have taken
root in the fertile bruin of some sensational
ist. This is not the first of the
kind thnt has been received in Omaha rela
tive to the sumo party. Chief Seavuy wns in
receipt of something of a similar character
some days ugo , und he called Upon mo to see
about it. "
"Did you send money to Walsh as is Indi
cated in the dispatch ! "
"Yes sir , I did. "
"How muehi"

Farmers Quarrel Over a Cow
Knocked Down Hy an A\c.
The police yesterday morning received a
dispatch from the sheriff of Holt county
asking thorn to arrest William A. Scager for
trying to kill a man named Mostier , living nt
Cleveland. Later In the day Mounted Police
man Sheep found the man on the outskirts of
town and brought Ifhn , iuto the central
station. i ,
The farms of Scagor's father nnd Mosher
adjoin. Scagor saj'H'ho'notlcpd Mosher tryIng -
Ing to coax ono of his father's cows to tros-
puss upon tlio neighbor's grain field. There
hud been some bad Iflood between the two
families , and Scnger's tlleory is that Mosher
wanted an excuse 16 nave tha cow hn-
iioundud. At any rate , Stager started out to
bring the bovine back. " words passed be
tween the men , and ' Sbager says Mosher
swung n bridle nnd struck him over the face
and head. Scager retaliated with a blow
from tlio Imudlo of ' ! # axe ho held and
knocked Moihcr down.
Soagcr's father wasJn , town yesterday ant ]
ridicules the Idea that Aloshor is seriously
hurt. "Why , " ho said , "you take hold of an
axe near the blade and see how much of n
blow you can strike with the helve. " The
father corroborates the son's story , and
claims to have watched the affair through
a field glass. Mostier is said to bo about
sixty-five years old.
Young Scager admitted to his captor that
ho had used Mosher so badly that ho couldn't
get up. The prisoner evidently anticipated
arrest. When found by Officer Sheep at a
boarding place near town , Scager asked if ho
wns wanted by the blue-coated roprescntn-
tlvo of the law's far-reaching nrm. Ho
wanted to know if a warrant was out for his
arrest , and Inquired particularly about the
policeman's jurisdiction. Scagcr's father
was in the city , and Officer Sheep got the
young fellow iuto the city by urging him logo
help his sire get u wagon load of goods homo
The iwllccmau arrested his prisoner hi his
father's presence. Young Scager left the
impression on Officer Sheep that the trouble
was about a claim or land that Mosher was
trying to jump.
Drink Malta it is pleasant.

The house bill to cnlargo the powers nnd

to make It an executive department having
been taken up , arguments were mndo by
Senators Morgan nnd Plumb against the
amendment reported by the committee on
agriculture to strlko out tlio fifth section of
the bill , which transfers the weather service
of the signal service bureau to the depart
ment of aericulturo ; nnd by Mr. Plait
against the bill Itself , on the ground that , If
such n now executive department were to bo
created , it should embrace the interests , not
only of agriculture , but of manufactures ,
mining , commerce , transportation and
labor.
The bill was recommitted and the sennlo
adjourned , having passed in nil seventy-

House.
WASHINOTON , Juno 4. Thohouso to-day
passed the bill to authorize the construction
of a bridge across the Missouri river in the
counties of Mononn , In. , and Hurt , Neb.
Mr. Mills moved that the rules bo sus
pended and evening sessions ordered for the
consideration of certain bills , but ns ho
would iiot consent to an amendment setting
apart certain sessions for the consideration
of pension bills , the republicans refused to
voto. As no quorum could bo
secured Mr. Mills withdrew his
resolution nnd moved thnt debate
on the pending paragraph in the tariff bill bo
limited to ten minutes.
Messrs. McKmloy and Kced demanded , as
a parliamentary inquiry , to bo informed
whether It wns not in order to suspend the
rules nnd sot apart days for general pension
legislation. The speaker pro tern ( McMillan
of Tennessee ) replied that the regular order
wns the Mills motion.
The house was In an uproar , the democrats
demanding the regular order , Mr. Heed per
sisting in his inquiry , and the
speaker pro tcui refusing to countenance
further interruption. He put tlio Mills
motion. Tlio vote showed no quorum , nnd
n call of the house wns ordered. Members to
tlio number of 222 having responded ,
Mr. Mills withdrew his motion to limit
Jebato nnd simply risked thnt the house go
Into committee of the whole on the tariff
bill. The republicans persisted in their
refusal to vote , and another roll call was
ordered on the motion to go into committee.
On this vote 111 democrats responded. No
quorum , und on motion of Mr. Mills , the
house adjourned.
Both Sides Explain.
WASHINGTON , Juno 4. The republican
members of the house explain their action in
bcaking the quorum in the house to-day by
the statement that the day was , under the
regular order , set apart for motions to sus
pend the rules and pass measures called up
by individuals. In preparation for such an
order Kcpicsontatlvo Merrill , of ICansas , had
mndo ready to move to pass the senate de
pendent pension bill. Had the democrats
seen fit to dispense with "suspension day"
und proceed with the consideration of tlio
tariff there would have been no opposition ,
but tlio burden of complaint among the re
publicans is that after Mills hud recognized
the character of the day by a motion
to suspend the rules and pass his resolution
setting apart certain evening sessions for
action upon committee reports , parliamentary
usages were violated by a refusal of tlio
speaker pro tern to recognize members on
the republican side to make n suspensory
motion. Therefore , they refused to take up
the tariff bill. The apparent explanation of
the course pursued by tlio democratic side is
that the committee on rules wished to make
an opportunity for legislative business other
than the tariff bill is , but a report fixing
dates , if presented in the house , would bo
open to un amendment in an objectionable
way. Therefore , Mills pursued the plan of
making n report in the shape of a resolution
on suspension day when it could not bo
amended under the rules.
WnyH and Meant ? Men Consult.
WASHINGTON , Juno 4. The democratic
members of the ways nnd means committee
were in consultation for some time nfter ad
journment to-day discussing the situation ,
to meet the republican demand for addi
tional pension legislation , und at the same
time to preserve a consistent record in the
matter of tariff reduction. A number of
democrats incline favorably to the plan of
setting apart a day for such legislation , with
the understanding that nt the proper time a
motion will bo rnnde , similar to thnt made atone
ono tune by Morrison under like circum
stances , to provide the money required to
meet expenditures authori/cd by the imposi
tion of a tax on Incomes above 55,000.

suffering from some degree of what may be

bo aggravated if it bo not caused by the pro-

LOOKING FOJt THIS DUCATS.
Counsellor Tcnnoy Wants the Pro
ceeds of L. L. Smith's GoodH.
The everlasting Lowy-Colo-Sinltk case 1ms
iot yet boon brought to a close. It will have
another hearing , possibly to-dny , or tomorrow
row In the United Stntes court in this city ,
joforo Judge Dundy , on n very important
question which Is nothing more nor less than
the right of Smith's creditors to obtain pos
session of tlio money which the sale of that
man's goods , after the first alleged settle
ment brought , amounting to $78,000.
It will not bo necessary to go into detail to
explain the situation. Every Qniuhnn nt the
.lino remembers and these who have since
como hero have in seine manner heard of Loy
al L. SmlthjOf his brass bands.his excursions ,
"
his profligacy nnd the ruinously "low" prices
at which ho sold his dry goods. It was in
18SO , suddenly Smith disappeared , skipped
Lo Canada , having in ado a pretended sale to
Lowey and Coio. Tlio latter claimed to have
purchased the stock in good faith. Notwith
standing they were attached by numbers
of Smith's creditors , and Judgments were
rendered against the new proprietors. After
a long litigation the federal court ordered
the proceeds of the sale of the stock , which
wus iii the hands of n receiver , to bo paid to
Lowey. In the mean time , however , the
baflled creditors of Smith became desperate.
They consulted with D. 1C. Tcnuoy , of Tcn
noy , Basford & Tenny , of Chicago , who had
been one of the leading attorneys for
the creditors and the result of the confer
ence was a scheme to bring Smith back from
Canada. Smith returned and gave up in
formation upon which a judgment was
granted tying up the monies in the receiver's
hands. Tcnnoy wns made trustee for the
eastern creditors and immediately began
suit to make Lowoy and bis alleged confed
erates liable for the debts of the content , in
other words , to surrender the money which ,
by the order of the federal court , had been
ordered paid into Its custody for the benefit
of Lowy. Tlio trial occupied a mouth und
resulted in favor of the creditors. Judge
Shepherd was on the bench und
the coso was held in the superior ,
court of Cook county. Illinois. In giving his
decision the court referred to the alarming
amount of penury and contradiction in the
case , claiming that Lowey had lied and that
his belidf was that nil that fraud paid wus
510,000 nnd hat was in consideration of turn
ing over goods to him and stepping out. Ho
concluded by saying that thcro was no doubt
that Lowoy entered knowingly with Smith
into u fraudulent conspiracy to defraud the
hitter's creditors , Ho accordingly entered n
decree 01 dering the finding out of tlio full
value of the goods nnd compelling Lowoy to
pay tlio full assessed value of tlio sumo to bo
divided among the judgment creditors.
On last Thursday D. K. Tonney , of Chicago
cage , secured from a master in clrinccry n
knowledge of the property valuation , amount
ing to $117,41i.iti ( ( , and in accoidunco Mr.
Tennoy came hero Saturday night to take
charge of the assets in the case. These con
sist of $78,000 as above mentioned which
have been paid into the United Stntes court ,
und by that court deposited in the First Na
tional bank of this city , where it still re
mains.
Mr. IConncy was seen by a Bnn man yes
terday nnd said his object was as lias been
above stated. Ho was asked if lie antici
pated any trouble in getting tins
money in view of tlio faVt
that the order empowering him emanated
from a state court , while tlio funds nt pres
ent wcro in the control of the federal court.
Ho replied that ho did not think , theie
would bo any dilllculty , becuiiho in their own
way the courts were of equal jurisdiction.
Tin ? constitution of the United States , ho
said , proscribed that "full faith und credit
shall bo idvcn in each state to the publliv
acts , records and judicial proceedings of ev
ery other state , " All that ho thought it wus
necessary to tlo was to have a copy of the de
cree duly authenticated , and ho thought it
would bo respected.
"By u federal rourt ? " asked TUB Btuman.
"Yes sir " the .
, , was answer.
Tlio writer culled on S. P. Morse , the dry
goods man/ whoso store adjoined Smith's nnd
who bravely stood the guerilla method of
business which the latter conducted. It was
ho , who. under another firm name , bought
the stock loft by the defaulter nnd paid for
the same $7S,000 "just to got it out of the
way" as Mr. Mon > o smilingly says. But in
getting it out of the way it Is assured that a
snug llttlo sum was realised.
"Tho litigation now does not annoy us"
said Mr. Morso.Vo paid our money , paid
it into the court and now the goods are sold ,
The creditors don't want the goods. They
want the monoy. It's right over In the
FIrlNfttIonnl bank , U wns put thcro by
order of the same court who ordered the
sale of the goods. "
"I think thcro will bo n fight ovcrthtfdfc-
livery of these funds , " said a lawyer.
"Juugo Dundy decided these goods belonged
to Lowy , didn't ho. Will ho now turn It
over to some other portonl"
The Mcrchnnta national bank lost 815,000
by Smith's rnscnllty. The mnnngomont
Imvo had a talk with Tcnnoy nnd It Is
thought will bo given pro rata share ot the
amount In question , although thcro are 170
creditors for whom Tonney is acting.
Tcnny's fee will bo u liberal ono , some
day thnt ho will got almost every cent , ho
having boon secured by the creditors to
knock Lowy out.
The whcrabouts of Lowy nnd Cole nro
unknown. As Mr. Tcnnoy puts It , "they nro
fugitives from Justice. "
A TAl.lv WITH Mil. SMITH.
Loyal S. Smith arrived from Chicago lost
night nnd registered nttho Paxton , whcro ho
was Veen by n Br.K reporter.
"In regards to the transaction with Lowy
as related in TimBKB of to-night , " remarked
Mr. Smith to the reporter. " 1 wish to add a
few words. My Indebtedness when I made
the transfer to Lowy wns In the neighbor
hood of SBiW.OOO. As I could not see my way
clearly out of tlio hole. I had made arrange
ments whereby I could have mndo n settle
ment with my creditors , as I had a stock of
goods on baud to'tho value of $ . ' 00OiX ) .
Lowy came to mo well recommended , nnd I
turned the stock over to him with the under
standing thnt it was to tie up the stock with
the avowed intention of getting a settlement
with my creditors , after which ho was to ro-
trnnsfer it to mo nnd I was to go on with the
business and ha w.is to bo handsomely pnld
for his trouble. When the ttmo cnmo for
him to ro-lrausfer ho positively
refused to do so , consequently
the trouble that has ensued. I have .settled
with every ono of my creditors who are not
now interested with mo to recover the value
of the stock. "
Mr. Smith gave further assurances that
had ho so desired ho could have borrowed
thousands of dollars from the banks the day
before the transfer to Lowy wns made , ns ha
hna not cxhnuMcd his line of credit with the
Merchants'Nationnl and United States banks.
"Attorneys Woolworth mid Thurstou , " con
tinued Mr. Smith , "havo boon wrongfully
censured by outsldo parties in reference to
this case. The lawyers , I believe , were not
fully cognizant of the details of the transao
lion. " Mr. Smith also paid a glowing com
pliment to D. ' 1C Tenuoy , of Chicago , for the
able manner In which ho has conducted the
case for the creditors.

The Postage Stamp.
The Now Yorlc Times recently pub
lished an interesting : article on this
subject , in which it said : At the first
blush the idea appeared excellent ; hut
unfortunately the Postal Union conven
tion itbolf was the llrst to interpose an
insurmountable oostaclo. As already
slated , ono of the vital principles of tho-
original convention is taut eivuh country
shall retain the posUigo 'which it col
lects. If a univor.sal stump wore usud ,
then , what guarantee would there bo
tliatlio country who sold the stumps
and got the profit would luul done the
work for which it had boon paid'i" " None
whatever ; and , moreover , it was found
on closer examination that the mone
tary systems in force in some of the
countries of the Postal Union would not
loud themselves to n universal
stump. Thus , for example , the
twenty-fivo centime stamp which
prepays a half ounce ( or 1.1 grammes )
lottur'from Franco or Italy to England
is represented in Germany by a twcnty-
pfeiuiig stamp ; but twenty pfennigs at'o ,
in reality , worth a quarter ot a centime
less thsiii tweuty-fivo centimes , and so
with the ten Icreu/or Austrian stamp ;
which , although it docs duty in Austria-
Hungiiry for twenty-live centimes in
prepaying a letter , is actually about
four centimes less in value. The idea ,
therefore , in the universal postage
stamp , to which the originator clung
fondlv to the hiht , had , after all , to bo
abandoned. At tlio various postal con-
grubbos , wliieh have from time to time
been hold , it has always boon agreed
among the several administrations con
cerned that three special exceptions
should bo mndo to the system of ac
counting for foreign mails at the ordin
ary fixed rate and by periodical statis
tics. The.se exceptions arc : For the
conveyance of British mails across the
iHtlimiiH railway between Panama and
Colon , for tlio transmission of foreign
mails across the continent of America
by express service from San Francisco
to Now York , and for the overland In
dian mail via Brindi.si. All those are
paid for by net weight.
